It’s only one week until Jimmy Cricket returns to the Bridlington Spa Theatre.

The ever-popular Northern Irish entertainer, who turned 80 in October, performs at the East Yorkshire venue from 1.30pm next Sunday (15 March).

Also playing is the great multi-instrumentalist Andy Eastwood alongside the lovely voice of singer/actor Helen Farrell.

The theatre says: “Comedian Jimmy Cricket with his trademark R & L Wellington Boots will be coming back to the wonderful Spa Theatre in Bridlington, on Sunday 15 March 2026 for a 1.30pm afternoon show!

“Jimmy Cricket is one of the UK’s most-loved Irish comedians, having made four series for Central Television in the mid 1980s and his own BBC Radio 2 series in the 1990s, alongside numerous television appearances and Royal Variety Shows; his TV credits also include Bullseye, The Krankies Club, Summertime Special, Starburst, Good Old Days, over the decades!

“His act is a unique blend of observational comedy, storytelling and musical performance, often featuring self-deprecating humour and a focus on everyday life and the human condition, all delivered with a charming and engaging stage presence.

“Jimmy has toured with The Osmonds, Gerry and The Pacemakers, Frank Carson and many more.

“He is looking forward to returning to the Spa Theatre, and as he says himself: ‘It is wonderful being able to work with all the staff there again who always makes us feel so welcome, and the theatre has been established as one of the best for live entertainment in the country.’

“So why not come and help Jimmy celebrate his landmark 80th Birthday?!”
